Abstract:

[Purposes] By summing up the experiences of special issue publishing for comprehensive journals, it can provide references for peer to organize special issues. [Methods] Taking special issues published on Scientia Agricultura Sinica from 2015 to 2018 as examples, we summarized the process of organizing special issues and points for attention, and analyzed the publishing effects of special issues based on our practical work. [Findings] Generally, the organization of special issues should go through such stages as topic selection, contribution soliciting, review, publication, and publicity. Executive editors should actively participate in every stage, and do a good job in the scientific management of manuscripts to ensure that the manuscripts are in place on time and reach the quality standards. On this basis, the special issues can be successfully published. The quality of the articles in the special issues is higher, and the citation frequencies, downloads, quantity, and quality of the highly-cited papers are higher than those in the regular issues. Moreover, the special issues can enhance the authors' attention and attract continuous contributions. [Conclusions] The publication of special issues can expand the source of contributions and enhance academic influence. It is an effective way for comprehensive journals to improve their competitiveness.
